CHAPTER 19 Damien came into the ward room and his tummy suddenly felt funny and he knew he had to use the restroom and also get some food into his system. Thinking about it, he hadn't eaten all day. A few minutes after he left Anastasia woke up feeling drowsy still as she opened her eyes slowly adjusting to the light. She remembered all that happened and her head started throbbing immediately. Her hands flew to her head and she felt a bandage on it. She practically starts feeling bad again cussing at the moon goddess for bringing her back to this god-forsaken life when she could have just stayed with her mom. The only person who actually cares about her and loves her genuinely from her heart. How could she have left fire to another hotter fire? She wondered now there weren't just five witches, but, they were almost over twenty if not more than that if she was including the unknown staff who worked for the other concubines. Then her hand went to her necklace as she wondered how sh
Chapter 20 Days had passed and Anastasia and Princess were back home from the hospital. Darius was training with Violet in the field. They were practicing some spells when Anastasia got to the field. Every concubine also had made sure to concede to Damien’s instructions which was “no messing with Anastasia”. Most of them weren't happy with this instruction but had no choice but to abide by this rule so her life at the Bethermore Mansion had been peaceful for a while now and she was grateful to Damien for this. Princess also had made sure to give her space, oftentimes when they met in the corridor she seemed to always take the opposite direction as though she was scared of Anastasia. Anastasia always wondered why she acted that way but could never have the opportunity to ask the person in question. She was amazed at what they were both doing and creating and was forced to ask Hannah who was also at the field at the time she arrived about who the Lycan Triplets were. “Honestly I hav
Chapter 21 Dante led Anastasia to where Gutch was. All the things they were going to use for the training were already prepared by him. Anastasia wondered when she got to where Gutch was how he had gotten everything prepared all by himself without his other partner. Immediately Gutch saw Anastasia coming, he frowned once again at her slender figure. Last time he had gone easy on her but he wasn't so sure if that same thing could happen today since he had gotten the information that the fight between her and one of the other ladies of the house was fast approaching. “We need to get you fit enough for all the lessons,” Gutch said to Anastasia immediately as she got to where he was. “Okay,” Anastasia said, waiting for the next instruction. “You need to do five laps around the training ground,” Dutch said to her. Anastasia looked at him in the eyes as her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. “You should start now,” Dutch said as he set his timer. “You don't expect me to do this
Chapter 22 There was a loud gasp in the field after Ana fainted. Gutch immediately went to meet her to check her pulse and sighed when he realized that she was still breathing but it was very faint. He knew Anastasia had overworked herself. Gutch who after getting to where Anastasia was saw that her grip on the rope was just still tight and he slowly removed her fingers one after the other from the rope. He knew he had stretched her and also believed he would have to overstretch her because he understood who Alexa was and how strong she was and as Anastasia's trainer he understood that he had to give her the best rigorous training ever to get her well-prepared for the duel she would have. Gutch knew it was always his joy when his student came out successful after his training and that was why he was tagged the best. It was a name he always lived up to. Gutch pushed the tires away from where she was and laid her very well on the ground so she could receive air one of the maids pres
Chapter 23 Anastasia’s POV I wake up the next day and I feel better after a good night's rest. I see Estella and Jessica already going about their duties in my room quietly. “She’s awake,” Jessica whispered to Estella. “Good morning,” They both said to me, smiling. “How are you feeling today?”Estella asked with genuine concern in her voice. “Good I believe I had a lot of weird dreams but I feel very refreshed this morning,” I told them. “Would you like to take your morning bath now? Let me heat the water again,” Jessica inquired from me. “Well I definitely would and what do you mean by again? Did you heat it before now?” I asked to be sure I heard right. “Yes, I did. I wasn't so sure when exactly you were going to wake up so I just heated it when we got into your room before the cleaning began,” Jessica explained to me. “Oh okay,” I replied and laid back on my bed. I watched Jessica go ahead to heat the water and Estella still going about the cleaning process. When the bat
Chapter 24 Damien and Darius take a path leading to the forest with some of their men tagging along. News had flashed that the Forbidden had started penetrating different clans and packs and were now in the Lycan’s triplets' territory. “How would it be possible that they would be among a pack and no one would sense it?” Damien asked, getting angry now at the other packs and clans' cluelessness and even his guards. Alphas ought to protect and are always ready to defend. They ought to always be vigilant and not give way to evil penetrators. Damien’s dad’s words echoed in his ears. He was already feeling disappointed and it was as though Darius felt his emotions as he patted him on his back. “Don't overwork yourself, brother, wear on the lookout now and we will find something,” Darius assured him. “I feel maybe there isn't anything to differentiate them that’s why,” Dante said to him, and some other guards who had heard Damien’s question earlier tried also giving different instanc
Chapter 25 A few minutes later Draven was there and was so surprised to see Darius on his bed. “Darius, are you okay?” Draven asked, sounding worried as he stood close to the bed looking at him. “I’m fine, I just need proper rest. The forbiddens have indeed gotten stronger,” Darius stated to his brother. “The forbidden made you this way?” Draven asked his brother. “I tried commanding it to me and breaking its free will but it seemed as though something stronger broke through the connection and had sent it a message to return home immediately,” Darius explained to his brothers. “You said you felt the darkness was going to overshadow you also,” Damien chipped that in. “Yes because while controlling it I had to look into it and I saw just darkness in those eyes and it was as though it was sharing its darkness with me,” Darius said to them and even shivered now. “We need the Ancient book of keys from Father’s locker,” Draven announced to his brothers. “I believe we three do. I wil
Chapter 26 Luna Ashena just finished taking her bath and was applying some makeup on herself and someone started coughing loudly. Looking at the bed she just turned back to her dressing mirror and continued applying her cosmetics and jewelry. “Water,” The person on the bed asked, the voice almost coming out as a whisper. “Water,” The person requested again as the loud cough continued. “You need to speak up to be heard,” Luna Ashena said as she continued fixing her hair trying to look as beautiful as possible. Elsa rushes in with water as she hears the loud cough. “Dad this is the water,” Elsa says as she raises Alpha Gregor’s head slightly from the bed so he can drink the water carefully without any problems. He gulped it down like a man who had been in a race and had been dehydrated for a long time. Elsa then rested his head back on the pillow and looked at her mom who was still dressing at her table with disgust. “Are you going to continue like this towards Dad?! You were li
